"Support the development of regional integration in the Yangtze River Delta and elevate it to a national strategy." Promoting the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta is a major strategy personally planned, personally deployed and personally promoted by General Secretary Xi Jinping.
From infrastructure to public services, from industrial clusters to innovation collaboration. The three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta closely follow the two keywords of "integration" and "high quality" emphasized by the general secretary, not only planning for the long term, but also doing it at the moment, the momentum of integrated development is surging and stirring, and the situation of hundreds of boats competing for the current is accelerating.
From "bounded" to "unbounded" cross-domain integration to accelerate

The mountain is not far away, and the water is not close. On July 1, 2020, the Shanghai-Sutong Yangtze River Railway Bridge and the Shanghai-Sutong Railway were officially put into operation, and the railway from Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, which is across the river from Shanghai, no longer needs to bypass Nanjing, and the shortest travel time between the two places is compressed to 1 hour and 6 minutes.
In November 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping said during his inspection in Nantong: "At that time, you were across the river from Shanghai here, nantong was not good at 'passing', and now the bridge is built across the river, a bridge flying north and south, the graben changes the way, and from then on , 'Nantong is easy to pass'." ”
Nantong's good "pass" is a vivid portrayal of the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. Since 2014, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has taken on a strong mission to promote the integrated and high-quality development of the Yangtze River Delta.

In May 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed during his inspection in Shanghai that "we will continue to improve the cooperation and coordination mechanism in the Yangtze River Delta region" and "strive to promote the development and integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta region".
In November 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping announced at the opening ceremony of the first China International Import Expo that he would support the development of regional integration in the Yangtze River Delta and elevate it to a national strategy.
Under the coordination of the national strategy, the interconnection of the three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta is no longer "connecting the blood vessels", but "opening up the meridians" based on the overall strategy.
Plan a picture -
The Yangtze River Delta Ecological Green Integrated Development Demonstration Zone, which spans Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is the forerunner and breakthrough of the national strategy for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. Recently, on the basis of the preparation of the country's first inter-provincial land spatial plan, the Yangtze River Delta Integration Demonstration Zone took the lead in issuing the first inter-provincial planning and construction guidelines in China.

"This guideline focuses on the three key areas of ecological environment, urban design, and comprehensive transportation, and realizes 'a set of standard pipe quality', which is another important institutional innovation achievement of the demonstration area." Zhang Zhongwei, deputy director of the executive committee of the Yangtze River Delta Integration Demonstration Zone, said.
A network of transportation——
At 6:50 a.m., Liu Xiaochen, who lives in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, took the G7215 high-speed train, arrived at Shanghai Station 25 minutes later, left the station to change to the subway, and when he arrived at the unit, it was less than 7:40 a.m., and he bought breakfast and a cup of coffee by the way to start a new day of work.
The Yangtze River Delta is integrated, and transportation must go first. Statistics show that the total mileage of the Yangtze River Delta high-speed railway has exceeded 6,000 kilometers, covering more than 90% of the prefecture-level cities in the region. The connotation of "Yangtze River Delta on the track" is more abundant, in addition to the trunk railway, intercity railway, urban (suburban) railway, and urban rail have also entered a period of intensive construction.
A card for people's livelihood——
While the physical boundaries disappear, the psychological distance of residents in the Yangtze River Delta is also narrowing with the integration of public services.

The place of relocation to handle the migration of household registration, the purchase of a house in a different place to withdraw the provident fund without materials, the outpatient fee of the off-site medical treatment is directly settled... In May this year, at the scene of the Yangtze River Delta Integration Development High-level Forum, a seemingly ordinary government service "map" integrated 116 "inter-provincial communication" matters. Taking the direct settlement of outpatient expenses in different places as an example, 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta have realized the "one card" of medical insurance. As of the end of August 2021, there are more than 9,000 online designated medical institutions, and the total number of outpatient direct settlements exceeds 5.51 million.
From the "first kilometer" to the "last kilometer" anchor the science and technology innovation community with precision
With 4% of the country's land area, it has created about 1/4 of the country's total economic output. Looking at China's economic map, the Yangtze River Delta is not only a large economy and a high degree of activity, but also one of the regions with the strongest innovation ability.

"The initiative of innovation and development must be firmly in their own hands." Three provinces and one city should gather scientific and technological forces, focus on key areas and key links such as integrated circuits, biomedicine, and artificial intelligence, and make breakthroughs as soon as possible. In August 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward requirements at the symposium on solidly promoting the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta.
From the "first kilometer" of basic research to the "last mile" of industrialization. The relevant plans prepared by the Ministry of Science and Technology and others propose to give full play to the leading role of the Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Center, strengthen the innovation advantages of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and strive to build a Yangtze River Delta science and technology innovation community with global influence.
Focus on improving the innovation source function. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta region should not only provide high-quality products, but also provide high-level scientific and technological supply to support the high-quality development of the country.

In recent years, Anhui Province has vigorously promoted the construction of a comprehensive national science center, and large scientific facilities are an important part of it. "Relying on large scientific facilities, let all kinds of talents such as basic research, engineering technology and operation and maintenance testing give full play to their talents." Song Yuntao, vice president of the Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said.
Statistics show that there are 21 large scientific facilities built or under construction in the Yangtze River Delta region, and the cluster development trend of major scientific and technological infrastructure in the region is becoming more and more obvious.
Continuously optimize the collaborative innovation environment. As one of the three comprehensive national technology innovation centers with national key layout, in June this year, the Yangtze River Delta National Technology Innovation Center was inaugurated in Shanghai. "The center will explore the establishment of a new mechanism for integrated and efficient operation and development, and strengthen the coordination and sharing of regional innovation resources." Liu Qing, director of the Yangtze River Delta National Technology Innovation Center, said.

Sino-Singapore Suzhou High-tech Industrial Development Zone, Sino-Singapore Jiashan Modern Industrial Park, Shanghai Caohejing Development Zone Haining Subdistrict...... The kinetic energy of science and innovation stimulated by the integration of the Yangtze River Delta can also taste from some "combination" names.
In order to break through the bottleneck of innovation and development, Jieshou (Shanghai) Offshore Science and Technology Innovation Center was established at the end of 2019. Through this "science and technology innovation enclave", it connects Shanghai's innovative achievements, talents and project resources, and injects a steady stream of kinetic energy for the development of Jieshou City.
Bigger and stronger emerging industrial clusters. In November 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Shanghai Zhangjiang Science City for an inspection. In the face of the scientific and technological workers on the scene, he said with a heavy heart, put scientific and technological innovation in a more important position, kick a good "foot in the door", and let scientific and technological innovation play a major role in implementing the innovation-driven development strategy and accelerating the transformation of new and old kinetic energy.

Taking the integrated circuit industry as an example, the Yangtze River Delta has formed a complete industrial chain integrating design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, equipment and materials, and the overall scale occupies half of the country.
AI pharmaceuticals, nucleic acid drugs, gene and cell therapy... Recently, 20 key projects have been signed to settle in Suzhou Biomedical Industrial Park. Ni Qian, deputy director of the management committee of Suzhou Industrial Park, said that the current annual output value of the biomedical industry in the park has exceeded 100 billion yuan, and it is accelerating the construction of a world-class biological industry ecosystem.
From "integration" to "high quality", take the lead in forming a new development pattern
Jiaxing, Zhejiang, is the starting point of the red ship and the "bridgehead" of Zhejiang to connect with Shanghai. In September this year, the Zhejiang Provincial Conference on Promoting the Joint Construction of Hongqiao International Open Hub was held in Jiaxing, proposing to build the "Golden South Wing" of Hongqiao International Open Hub.

"The Yangtze River Delta region should give full play to the advantages of rich talents, high level of science and technology, developed manufacturing industry, relatively complete industrial chain supply chain and large market potential, and actively explore ways to form a new development pattern." General Secretary Xi Jinping's sonorous and powerful words have pinpointed the positioning and pointed out the direction for the Yangtze River Delta in the overall situation of national development.
With Shanghai's Hongqiao Business District as the core, extending north to Suzhou Industrial Park in Jiangsu Province and extending south to Haining, Zhejiang Province , the "Overall Plan for the Construction of Hongqiao International Open Hub", which was approved at the beginning of this year, is another major strategic task for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta.
Ingeka Shopping Center (China) Management Co., Ltd. recently announced the settlement of the "Great Hongqiao" Changning Area, and the relevant person in charge of the company said the ideas of many foreign-funded enterprises: "The location advantages and dynamic development potential of Hongqiao International Open Hub connecting the world have excellent attraction for foreign-funded enterprises." ”
On December 30, 2020, the awarding ceremony of the Yangtze River Delta City Branch Center of Hongqiao Import Commodity Exhibition and Trading Center was held at the Shanghai Hongqiao Import Commodity Exhibition and Trading Center, and representatives from the Yangtze River Delta City Branch Center signed a letter of intent for cooperation at the ceremony.

Great opening up to the outside world and a large market to the inside. Promote the free flow of talents, technology, capital, information and other elements and resources across regions, build a unified and open market, and the Yangtze River Delta is at the forefront of the country.
Information from the Yangtze River Delta Regional Cooperation Office shows that in recent years, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui have jointly accelerated the construction of the Yangtze River Delta Technology Trading Market Alliance, and in 2020, more than 14,000 technology contracts between the three provinces and one city will be exported, and the amount of technology transactions will be 54.4 billion yuan, an increase of 26.5% year-on-year.
The dividends of the big market can also be perceived by the people. Xu Peng, deputy director of the Department of Culture and Tourism of Zhejiang Province, said that the Executive Committee of the Yangtze River Delta Integration Demonstration Zone and the Department of Culture and Tourism of Zhejiang Province took the lead in compiling a three-year action plan for the construction of the ecological and cultural tourism circle in the ancient town of Jiangnan Water Town, which sorted out 47 47 theme routes of twelve types of tourism. The three provinces and one city also coordinated to promote the "satisfied consumption Yangtze River Delta" action, accumulatively developing more than 400 enterprises that promised to return goods without reason in different stores in different places.

Inside and outside, soft and hard at the same time. Nowadays, in the Yangtze River Delta region, there are both northbound and southward expansion belts such as "Great Hongqiao", as well as Shanghai Metropolitan Circle and Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei and other metropolitan areas, as well as science and technology innovation corridors such as G60. Under the guidance of these "belts", "circles" and "corridors", the cities in the Yangtze River Delta have changed from "close neighbors" to "teammates" and jointly represent the country to participate in global competition and cooperation.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that it is necessary to deeply understand the status and role of the Yangtze River Delta region in the country's economic and social development, combine the new situation and new requirements facing the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, adhere to the unity of goal-oriented and problem-oriented, closely follow the two keywords of integration and high quality to grasp the key work, really do solid work, immerse themselves in hard work, and promote the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta to achieve continuous results.
The wind rises in the Yangtze River Delta, creating a greater future. Guided by the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, the three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta will each develop their strengths and form a joint force, and the "gong pen painting" of higher quality integrated development will be more and more delicate and more wonderful.
